Game Graphics

I have been a graphic designer for almost 10 years creating graphics for video games, websites, print work and general illustrations. Game graphics are both a hobby and a passion of mine, and I enjoy seeing the game art of others and creating sprites and characters in my own style.

I have created game art for almost 100 games and you can see a few pieces of my work in the portfolio section. This is only a small selection as some projects are ‘classified’ others are unfinished and some are done as a ‘secret 3rd party’.

For some of the more general game graphics I have created an online store that sells editable vector files ready to use in your game. Every month i learn a little more and since its inception I have added EPS files, then sprite sheets and now I am looking at adding SVG files to future products.

Do you do any custom work?

I get this question a lot and to answer, I do accept custom work and I would be happy to quote on your requirements. I am cheap (compared to most) and I am ‘usually’ pretty quick. My downside is the fact I have two small girls so I can be called away at a moment’s notice (i like to be a good dad) so be prepared.

Gaming Debugged is a gaming blog covering mainstream and indie gaming, game design and development, news and comment from the games industry.

I like to mix up the content by providing useful information such as 'how to get started in the games industry' with the big questions (down the pub) such as 'who are the biggest game bad guys, which game location would i go on vacation to' and 'which gaming hero could you take home to meet your mum'.

Gaming Debugged (previously Debug Design) is the personal website and blog of indie gamer Ian Garstang, Graphic designer, SEO enthusiast, Indie game designer and developer and creator of Graphic Buffet, an online resource for indie game developers selling vector game graphics, art and assets for use in video games development.
